The greatest reward is sharing in the happiness of others success and knowing you have played your part!
I am pleased to share a few of the most recent successes and their thoughts of our work together.
When it comes to selling your home, you need to choose the right real estate agent, in order to be successful. Paul Holloway is that agent. He discusses the facts and pros/cons about your property and goes the extra mile to help you achieve your goal.
In today’s real estate market your home needs to stand out from the rest. With more and more people shopping on the Internet for real estate, you must pay attention to the subtle details, or better yet find an agent that does, like Paul.
This is our story. I believe when you decide to sell your home it is not yours any more. It is just a house that you need to present to others to achieve your sale.
In our case we had an 11-year-old house in Douglas Dale (our dream home built just for us). The carpets & linoleum were tired and outdated; all colors were showing the age of the home. So out with the carpets and linoleum (kept the hard wood) and in with new carpet, tile and paint. We asked our neighbors/friends who are a professional painter and she is an accredited home stager for help. We chose colors she recommended, remember you don’t have to like them, but they need to make your house POP, you want people to come in and go WOW!!, as she explained.
After all the hard work and convincing from them was done, Paul brought in a professional photographer to shoot the virtual home pictures to load onto his website The difference between a pro and a real estate agent taking the pictures is night and day. The good news is that Paul does his research and works hard for you. He keeps you up to date with what is going on with your house, with the market and what the game plan is. In our case, we got 97% of our list price in a buyers market in 8 days…8 days, what more could we ask for? We wouldn’t hesitate to use Paul’s services next time. This was the 3rd house that we have sold and by far the best experience, thanks to Paul.

I have recently had the pleasure of working with Paul in selling my home and purchasing a new residence. The reason I chose him is because I know him to be a good father and family man, which to me speaks to values and ethics.
In a challenging buyers market, Paul knew exactly how to price my sale with supportive historical data, analysis and viewings of comparable properties. He made valid suggestions on presentation and materially contributed to a prompt sale.
Before the home was even listed, we were out looking at new properties so that I would have a realistic expectation of what my proceeds could purchase. Paul was very conscience about my lifestyle and housing preferences, but also presented options to keep my focus more open.
Through the entire process, he rendered valuable advice when requested but never overstepped that boundary. His attention to detail, follow up and paperwork was flawless; something that I personally subscribe to. Paul is an intelligent, energetic, hard working Real Estate Professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to you.

I am a recently migrated permanent resident from Australia who moved to Calgary in March 2007. I was introduced to Paul Holloway via a work colleague upon conversing that I was in the market for a home. I contacted Paul and immediately felt that I was in the right hands.
Being new to Calgary and unfamiliar with all the areas of the city, Paul had asked me what all my requests where and what was I was looking for. Paul worked endlessly and diligently in matching homes with my credentials. The man has the patience of a saint as I believe he took me to over 50 properties in all quadrants of the city for several months. I eventually settled on my first property in Canada. Paul is a true Gentleman in character and not only is my agent but we have also built a friendship, outside of his career. Paul was determined to match me with a home that was perfect for me; and due to his hard work and persistence has done so. I never felt pressured at any time and Paul always had my best interest in mind. I congratulate Paul on his commitment to his clients, his tenacity and never quit attitude. I thank you for your commitment and dedication to me as a client.

Our new home was approximately 1 month from being finished. Our contract with our first realtors was finished and our house was still not sold. We watched Paul’s sign go up on two other properties in our cul-de-sac. The one sold within a day of being listed. The other was about a week. Why was ours not selling? We decided we had better call Paul; he seems to know what he is doing to get the job done. Paul came right over, gave us a few pointers on what to change in our house to make it a little more marketable. He put his sign up and 4 days later our house was sold!
Paul came into our home, he new we were under pressure to sell our home. He was very friendly, professional and knew right from the start what had to be done to sell our house. He is number one in our books, and we would definitely call on him again to sell our next home. Thank you again Paul.

We would like to thank Paul Holloway for the wonderful professional service he gave us in the sale of our house in Douglas Ridge and subsequent purchase of our new home in Chaparral. He is responsive, cordial, efficient, pays attention to detail, and follows through on everything he says. Paul went far beyond his duties as a realtor to become a trusted friend and advisor throughout the process. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
